Adjusting the Controls

IMPORTANT:

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.

The preset settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.

The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

Adjusting the Controls

To adjust the set points, press and hold the TEMPERATURE button for 3 seconds. When adjust mode is activated, set points and adjusting information will appear on the display screen.

NOTE: To view Celsius temperatures, press the FILTER button when adjust mode is activated. To return the display setting to Fahrenheit, press FILTER again.

Refrigerator Controls

When adjust mode is activated, the LOCK and FAST ICE/COOL buttons adjust the refrigerator compartment temperature. The set point range for the refrigerator is 33°F to 45°F (0°C to 7°C).

Press LOCK to lower the set point.

Press FAST ICE/COOL to raise the set point.

Freezer Controls

When adjust mode is activated, the ICE and LIGHT buttons adjust the freezer compartment temperature. The set point range for the freezer is -5°F to 5°F (-21°C to -15°C).

Press ICE to lower the set point.

Press LIGHT to raise the set point.

Additional Features

NOTE: The display screen on the dispenser control panel has a backlight, which will turn off automatically when the control buttons have not been used for 30 seconds or more. When the backlight is off, the first press of a control button will only reactivate the backlight, without changing any settings. Within 30 seconds after the backlight has been reactivated, additional presses of control buttons will change the applicable settings.

Fast Cool & Fast Ice

The Fast Cool feature assists with periods of heavy ice usage, full grocery loads, or temporarily warm room temperatures.

The Fast Ice feature assists with temporary periods of heavy ice use by increasing ice production over a 24-hour period.

Press the FAST ICE/COOL button to turn on the Fast Cool feature. When the feature turns on, the “Fast Cool” animation will appear on the dispenser display.

The Fast Cool setting will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

Press FAST ICE/COOL again to turn off Fast Cool and turn on the Fast Ice feature. When the feature turns on, the “Fast Ice” animation will appear on the dispenser display.

The Fast Ice setting will remain on for 24 hours unless manually turned off.

Press FAST ICE/COOL a third time to activate Fast Cool and Fast Ice at the same time. When the features are activated, both the “Fast Cool” and “Fast Ice” animations will appear on the dispenser display.

Press FAST ICE/COOL a fourth time to turn both Fast Cool and Fast Ice off.

When Fast Cool and/or Fast Ice are active, the temperature display will not change. After 24 hours, the refrigerator returns to the previous temperature set points.

NOTE: If increased ice production is desired at all times, change the freezer control to a lower setting. Setting the freezer to a colder temperature may make some foods, such as ice cream, harder.
